<p>Since iRedAdmin-0.9.2 (open source edition), and iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-3.0,
iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-3.2, iRedAdmin or iRedAdmin-Pro is running as a
standalone service named "iredadmin", each time you modified its config
file, please restart the service ("iredadmin").</p>
</div>
<p>This tutorial describes how to update or migrate iRedAdmin (either open source
edition or old iRedAdmin-Pro release) to the latest iRedAdmin release (again,
either open source edition or iRedAdmin-Pro).</p>
<h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<p>The latest iRedAdmin-Pro always requires the latest iRedMail stable release,
   so you <strong>MUST</strong> upgrade iRedMail to the latest stable release before
   upgrading iRedAdmin-Pro.</p>

<p>If you run the latest iRedAdmin-Pro with old iRedMail release, you may
  get error due to missing some required ldap attribute/value pairs
  (OpenLDAP backend), or missing some required SQL columns.</p>
</li>

<p>If you run the latest iRedMail with old iRedAdmin-Pro, you may get error
  due to missing dropped SQL columns, or created accounts may miss some
  properties required by the latest iRedMail.</p>

</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>You <strong>MUST</strong> have iRedAdmin open source edition or old iRedAdmin-Pro release
   installed and running on your server before upgrading.</p>
